Thanks for the feedback so far. Keep it coming... :-)
We visited a dealer yesterday to look at PUPs as well as some lightweight hard-sided options. It does appear that the biggest hurdle (especially for DW) is internal storage of food, clothes, etc. With that in mind, I would be interested to know what strategy folks use to pack food and clothing without it "cluttering" up the PUP and getting in the way during the camping trips?
Thanks...Peace...Away...
For clothes and dry goods make suspension rod shelving
For food. Get a chuckbox and outdoor kitchen.
My pup has bedding, pillows, bedding coffee maker, 12vt tvdvd. 2 blue aquatainers, 4 folding bag chairs, bunk fans, and shelving mod. Clothes, chuckbox, folding kitchen, cooler and firewood in truck. Seats filled and possibly a bike or canoe. I don't call that a lot of gear just typical family of 4= 1,000lbs of camping gear.
